I appreciate the reply.
I actually am married, and my kids are either out of college (one w/Master’s) or currently in. I know about the pull of the Ivies, however. In the early ‘90’s I actually visited Cornell several times in order to decide if I wanted to go to their law school. There was one (only one) prof there I liked (at least from the readings I did of his stuff).
But, God has other plans for us sometimes, so I never got to drag the entire family out to the Gorge. But, I never forgot the mystique of the challenge that the school would have been to a conservative. Congrats to you for keeping the ‘indoctrinator’ in line. Somebody’s got to keep their feet to the fire.
I’ve got to go ‘til tomorrow, but what did you think of Ithaca itself (politically left of Berkeley), as in the city itself? Expensive I suppose?
As for town of Ithaca, the best I can say is that it is no Charlottesville. But Cornell is no UVa either.
